Relive
the
old
world
charm
of
Kolkata
by
feasting
on
traditional
Bengali
cuisine
as
Conrad
introduces
an
exclusive
Bengali
Food
Festival
at
Zeera
an
extensive
spread
of
traditional
delicacies
and
local
favourites,
this
festival
brings
together
authentic
flavours
and
traditional
recipes
from
the
city
of
Joy.
As
I
entered
the
restaurant
I
saw
the
quotation
of
“KHOOB
BHAALO”
which
gave
a
zest
of
Bengali
culture
on
the
entrance
and
beautiful
rangolis
and
lamp
were
decorated
with
the
yellow
and
orange
flowers
on
the
ground
which
were
so
soothing
to
soar
eyes.
When
I
stepped
in
the
restaurant
,
the
monotonous
color
concept
of
interior
was
so
eye
catching
,walls
were
adorned
in
the
shades
of
brown
and
vibrant
coffee
and
walnut
colored
marble
made
it
look
so
magnificent
in
the
soft
light
of
the
restaurant
.
I
was
greeted
by
the
chef
Tapas
and
later
I
initiated
the
fest
with
Bengal
Twist
mocktail
which
was
made
up
of
orange
juice
,
basil
leaves
and
soda.
After
a
while
I
had
their
vegetarian
Bengoli
thali
which
looked
so
huge
and
scrumptious.
Starting
with
Veg
cutlet
which
was
served
with
Tomator
chutney
and
Aamer
chutney.
Aamer
chutney
was
made
up
of
raw
mango
which
was
cooked
in
sugar
with
mustard
seeds
aong
with
Indian
species.
Aloo
jhinge
posto
,
Cholar
dal
,
Potal
korma
,Jackfruit
curry
were
the
main
attraction
in
the
vegetables
which
was
served
along
with
basanti
pulao
,
koraishutir
kochuri
and
luchi
–
deep
fried
puri
.
Aloo
Jhinge
Posto
–
In
this
ridge
gourd
and
potatoes
are
cooked
together
with
poopy
seeds
paste
which
made
it
bit
spicy
yet
delicious
.
Cholar
dal
–
The
flavor
of
coconut
,
ghee
with
assortment
of
whole
spices
made
it
top
the
chart
.
Koraishutir
Kochuri
–
Spiced
green
peas
stuffed
in
fried
bread
which
had
a
savory
taste
.
How
can
be
a
bengoli
fest
is
completed
without
a
rosogolla
.
The
kind
of
rosogolla
I
had
here
,
I
never
had
it
before
.
It
was
poached
in
date
palm
jiggery
with
flavoured
syrup
.
Another
dessert
which
I
liked
was
mishit
dol.
The
food
,
ambience
,
hospitality
and
everything
was
on
the
point
.
Overall
it
was
an
amazing
experience
to
have
the
delicacy
of
Bengal
in
Conrad
,
Pune
.
